Or makes you feel...unpleasant
I notice you have this tendency
This unfortunate tendency
To shout and holler
And make a mess
Even more of a mess
Honey, you need to do
What Southern women do
See, we don't put our problems out there
For the world to see
We keep our problems in the cupboards
And the pantries and we throw parties
And sip wine instead of whining
About our problems
Our problems get mixed in
With the lemonade
And we just sit and toss it off
Like yesterday's change
We don't get mad about it, honey
Six months from now
Everything that's bothering you
Is gonna be party anecdotes
So you gotta just smile
And nod
And promise to yourself
That whomever is bothering you now
Will be noticeably absent
On the guest list
Of your next extravagant party
That's how we do it
And that's something you need to learn
